New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc. (NUMMI, pronounce new-me) is the pioneering joint venture between Toyota and General Motors. Established in 1984, NUMMI helped revolutionize the U.S. automobile industry by introducing the Toyota Production System and a teamwork-based working environment in the United States. Today, NUMMI has grown to become a 4,700 employee company which produces three award-winning vehicles - the Toyota Corolla, the Toyota Tacoma pickup truck, and the Chevrolet Prizm - at the brisk pace of 360,000 vehicles per year. Throughout its history, NUMMI has worked very hard to create a unique corporate culture borrowing from Toyota, General Motors, and the nearby Silicon Valley environment. NUMMI’s unique partnership with the United Auto Workers (UAW), which represents its 3,800 hourly team members, has been the topic of numerous labor relations studies. The company’s core values are based on five cornerstones: teamwork, equity, involvement, mutual trust and respect, and safety. Always expanding and currently preparing for its next generation of vehicles, the company remains focused on its primary mission: Through teamwork, safely build the highest quality vehicles at the lowest possible cost to benefit its customers, team members, community, and shareholders. Headquartered and located in Fremont, California, NUMMI is the only car and truck manufacturing facility west of the Rocky Mountains. The company works closely with other North American Toyota affiliates and with a network of over 200 direct suppliers throughout America and in Japan.
